Family braved the icy roads for a supermarket trip and came back with pig's cheeks!? (They had a reduced sticker!). I've never knowingly eaten these before - any suggestions for cooking?

I guess we are thinking of some kind of casserole type thing maybe? (We have a a tin of butterbeans, leek, onions, potatoes, bacon, few mushrooms). Does anyone have any tried and tested recipes or tips? I am assuming they will need cooking for ages - we don't have a slow cooker.

All help appreciated!

If you fancy a real challenge then you have the basic ingredient for Bath Chaps - a cured product recently revived in the Bath and Bristol area:

I know that Keith Floyd had a recipe for these but unfortunately my OH took that book with him when he left, but if you Google
cook pigs cheeks
you will get lots of ideas

Hi Greatexpectations,

There's an earlier thread that may help so I've added your thread to it now that your post has dropped down the board.

Shopping yesterday in Morrisons I came across pork cheeks. I'd never tried them before, or even heard of them as a cut of meat.
I don't know whether anyone else has tried them. They're pretty cheap, 4 for £1.30.
They need a long cooking time, I stuck them in a casserole & have just tried a bit, they are very nice.
May be worth keeping an eye out for them.
I now find yet again, another thread, I wish I would remember the advanced search, I need a slap with my pig cheek.

I brought and cooked pork cheeks for the first time a couple of months ago, They were very nice when cooked for a good few hours in the slow cooker.

Pigs cheeks are one of the tastiest cuts of all, I was reared on them.

The only parts of a pig you cannot eat are it's !!!!! and it's grunt !
